The Multidisciplinary Advantage
Bringing the expertise of multiple specialists together in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients has been a hallmark of our Comprehensive Cancer Center.
At most medical centers, it can take weeks to see each of the physicians who will have a role in the patient’s care, compounding the stress that patients experience. At Wake Forest Baptist we’ve developed a system to streamline the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of cancer patients by subspecialized teams of surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists as well as allied health care professionals.
A Partnership in Patient Care
The Comprehensive Cancer Center has built a team of nationally and internationally recognized experts who are committed to providing the best care possible. More than 120 clinicians representing all aspects of cancer care have joined together to pool their knowledge and expertise to offer the optimal treatment options for our cancer patients.
We believe that effective prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer depend on a strong partnership with referring physicians. Close communication with physicians at every stage of the treatment program provides integrated care and the best possible outcome.
